Anna Kalinskaya has spoken candidly about her time as a young prospect at the Patrick Mouratoglou academy, a center that, as she describes, combines top-notch facilities with extreme physical demands for developing players. "It's a very good academy, with a million courts and an incredible gym. I trained there for a while. The weather was good. They started demanding a lot from me physically. I wasn't prepared for that," confessed the Russian player. 

An overload of work that led to her back injury

Kalinskaya recounted that until she was 16, she had done very little physical work and was unfamiliar with gym equipment. "I didn't lift weights. If I did anything, it was different types of training, but I wasn't ready for machines or anything like that. Everything there was very intense and there was no individual approach. Meaning, what someone like Alizé Cornet did, I could do behind her, but with less intensity, of course. She was already playing on the tour, and I was just about to compete in my first tournaments, starting to observe everything," she explained. Kalinskaya pointed out that this early overload led to her first back injury, which she still carries to this day. 

The Russian tennis player criticized the lack of personalized attention at the academy. "The last time I was there, I stayed for ten days. I trained for two days with one coach, but by the third day, there was a different one. They told me the coach was working with another player now because a professional had arrived and the priority was for the tour players. That's why I didn't go back, because in ten days or a week, they had changed my coach three times," she confessed. 

Mouratoglou's Controversies

The legendary German tennis player, Boris Becker, has supported Kalinskaya through his Twitter account, quoting the Russian tennis player's statements with the message: "Words Anna," implying his support for the player's courage in making such a confession.

These words from Kalinskaya come at a delicate time for Mouratoglou, who in recent weeks has been involved in several controversies. The response of Rafa Nadal to his statements claiming that Sinner and Alcaraz were better than the Big Four is well known. Also, former Andy Murray coach, Mark Petchey, contradicted the French coach's words by accusing him of having "very recent bias" for not appreciating what the Big Four had achieved over the last three decades in the tennis world.
